does anybody know of a generic turbo that would work with the '98 s70 2.5se? if so how much ish would it cost for all the parts.
thx

 

Is the 98 s70 2.5 se already turboed? Or are you trying to turbo an N/A Volvo?

 

it's currently turbo-less and i wanted to give her a birthday present

 

Ok now we can start with this...

*FYI it would be easier to sell your N/A and buy an already turbocharged Volvo. This is the honest to god truth and mostly everyone will tell you this.

Now lets move on to what you would need to turbo your N/A.

1. Turbo
2. Downpipe
3. Catback
4. Intercooler
5. Intercooler hoses
6. Vaccum lines
7. Boost gauge
8. ECU tuning, this would be the biggest pain to do as you would want to dyno tune your car to get the best tune for it.
9. Etc...

Your looking at a good $3000 plus to turbo your N/A. That is to do it right.

I suggest selling your N/A, buying an already turbocharged model and mod it from there. You will be much happier.

 

thanks alot man! i personally find it unthinkable to sell my volvo. we've been through so much together.plus this would bring me and my volvo even closer together!

 

Do you plan to do the work yourself? Because that $3k wasn't even including what a shop would charge for labor.

Also notice I said Etc..., because there are items I didn't mention because I know there are more things you would need but can't think of them.

You may like your car a lot, but it is easier to sell and buy an already turbocharged Volvo. Also the downtime you will have with this will be a lot.

 

By the way there is no kit available. You will have to piece parts together and or have things fabbed for you.

But if your looking to turbo I would suggest a 13g and run about 5-7 PSI.
